Chapter 7

DPOV

I groaned as I woke up and gripped my head with my hand.

"Ugh…"

I looked around me and saw the messy room and the unmade bed, and just like that it was like a road train hitting me as realisation dawned on me.

"Shit! Roza? Please be here. Where are you?" I called out as I stood up.

But only silence met me.

I began to panic as I walked over to the bathroom to see if she was in the shower, but the bathroom was bare. I walked back into the bedroom and saw that her clothes were still on the floor. So if the strigoi had taken her, like I think he did, all she would be wearing is his duster.

I spun around in a circle as I debated on what to do. No one on campus knew a strigoi had broken in through the wards yet, and I needed to alert the guardians so they can organise a search party for Rose.

I turned around and grabbed my pants and pulled them on as I ran out the door. Students looked at me funny when I ran past them down the hall but I only had one thing on my mind.

Roza.

How could I let her be taken like that? Especially just after we had made love. This isn't how it was supposed to be. We are supposed to fall asleep together and wake up together, and to not be disturbed in the middle of the night by a strigoi who ends up taking my girlfriend.

I shook my head as I burst into the guardian lounge and everyone looked up at me in surprise.

I must have been a sight to see. All dishevelled with sleep and banged up from fighting. I knew I had a few cuts over my body because I could feel them and see the blood that was stained on my t-shirt.

"Guardian Belikov, what happened?"

"Roza…" I panted out and everyone looked at me as if I had lost my mind. Who knew, maybe I had. I was after all known as the one to be calm and collected in stressful times, and here I am worried out of my mind and stressing like no tomorrow in my pyjamas in the middle of the guardian staff room.

What can I say? Roza does things to me that no one else can get me to normally do. I need look at last night. She was so loose and amazing and sexy….

Focus Dimitri. I scolded myself. Roza needs you right now and your thinking about sex. Get a grip man!

"Oh yes, Guardian Belikov. Did you get her calmed down?" asked Alberta coming over to me.

"Yes but I don't know where the hell she is!" I practically screamed in her face.

Alberta pulled back in surprise.

"What are you taking about Belikov? And what are you wearing…?"

"Who cares what I'm wearing! Roza was taken by a strigoi and I don't know where she is or if she's ok, or if she's even alive…"

My voice caught as I said alive. I couldn't bear to think of Roza dead. If she was dead I was too. If she was lost, so was I, or in this case insane….

"WHAT! A strigoi was on campus?! How long ago? Why didn't you alert us straight away?!" Alberta fired questions to me quicker than what I could listen to them.

The rest of the guardians circled around me and were throwing questions left right and centre. I heard things like "Were any Royals taken?" and "Is Princess Valisa alright and safe?"

I knew in the back of my mind that these were perfectly respectable questions but at the moment I was only worried about one thing, and one thing only.

"Everybody! Shut the FUCK up!" I yelled and everyone immediately fell silent.

First, me bursting into a room with pyjamas on. Second, me being all frantic and messed up. And third me swearing out right in English. Yeah, I have lost the plot a bit.

"There was only one strigoi and it was in my room with me and Roza. It attacked me after it threatened Roza and then I must have been knocked out, because when I woke up next Roza and the strigoi were gone. No Royals were taken and Princess Valisa is perfectly safe, because she wasn't with us at the time. Now can we please jump into action and save Roza now please?"

The guardians all exchanged looks. Alberta was the only one to keep her gaze on me. Her eyes pierced through me as if she could sense every wild emotion that I was feeling right then and the look reminded me of the one I quite usually gave to Roza during our lessons or when she was lying to me.

Oh Roza…

Finally the guardians stopped talking to one another and turned back to me. They all seemed afraid to be the one to tell me what they were just discussing and in the end it was Stan who stepped forward. Stan… this surely wouldn't end well.

"Look Belikov. Rose was a great student, and probably would've turned out to be one the best. But we can't send out an entire search party for just one student let alone a dhampir. If it was a moroi, then yeah, maybe we could. But Rose… well… she gone Belikov. I'm sorry."

See that's where I'm glad of having the ability of being able to read people and tell when they are lying. And right now, Stan was lying through his teeth. He didn't sound sorry at all! And the worst part was he sounded bloody smug about it the asshole!

Before I even realised what I was doing I raised my fist and brought it forward to smack right in the centre of his nose.

Stan cried out, with his hands flying to his nose. He fell backwards surprised with not having expecting the hit. But seriously, how could you not have expected to see that coming. I mean if you were going to face off with a tall, pissed off Russian and tell him there was no way possible of him being able to find his girlfriend and the love his life back, you'd punch him too.

Alberta stepped forward and gripped my arm, stopping me from throwing any more punches, as the guardians behind Stan caught him as he fell. Alberta looked as if she was trying not to laugh, but at the same time I could tell she was pissed off about what Stan had said about Rose. I knew Alberta loved Rose like a daughter and like me she would go through hell and back if she knew there was any way of getting Rose home safely if she was still alive. And in my heart I knew she was alive. I could feel her live heartbeat as if I had her heart in my own chest.

Wait…

I spun around and tried to run out of the staff room but Alberta quickly restrained me.

"Belikov, what are you doing?"

"Getting Adrian Ivashkov to see if he can get to Rose in her dreams." I said.

Alberta nodded. "Alright, hurry back. I'll try and quiet these guys down and get a search party organised. I want to find Rose as much as you do Dimitri."

I nodded truly grateful. "Thank you Alberta. Really."

Alberta smiled and nodded. "Hurry Dimitri."

I nodded, not needing any more pushes towards the door. I flew out of the door like a wild storm and bolted towards the visiting housing. It only took me two minutes to run there and seconds later I was beating on the door as loudly as a jackhammer.

I could hear many scuffles and grunts behind the door and two minutes later Adrian was opening the door.

He was squinting in the light and his hair was messy with sleep. Different to his normally perfectly styled messy hair. He peeked at me around the door and looked surprised to see me standing there.

"If you're looking for Rose, she should be somewhere on the other side of the school in her room. Although I'm surprised that you think she would be here with me and not in bed with you especially with our fight we just had-" he started to speak but I cut him off.

"I'm not here for Rose. Or well-I am. But for a different reason." I took a breath and swallowed my pride as I said the next words. "We need your help. Rose has been taken and we need you to try and contact her in her dreams."

Adrian instantly woke up and stood up straighter. "Rose has what? Tell me you're joking."

I glared at him but he seemed unaffected by it. "Do you think I would be here in the middle of the night if I was joking?!"

"Whoa, Jeez, take a chill pill man."

"Don't you bloody tell me to-"

"Are we going or not?" Adrian Demanded effectively cutting me off.

I sighed and nodded my head. "Yes. Move it."

We began walking but Adrian suddenly stopped.

"What is it?" I demanded.

Adrian looked at me. "We have to get Lissa."

I shook my head. "No. It will just complicate things."

This time Adrian glared at me. "Rose and Lissa have a bond. Lissa may be able to help."

I sighed irritated. "Adrian, the bond is one way. You know that as good as I do. Rose can see into the Princesses head, but the Princess can't see into Rose's."

Adrian scratched his head as if it helped him think. "Yes, I know. But she can still feel things. She can feel Rose, and she can feel it when Rose takes the darkness away from her. So if I can't get to Rose through her dreams we will at least know Rose is alive if Lissa can feel Rose taking the darkness from her."

I thought about it and then realised that Adrian did actually have a valid point. So we detoured and stopped by the Moroi dorms and knocked softly on her door so we didn't wake anyone else up, but loud enough that Lissa would hear them if they were asleep.

After a few seconds Lissa opened the door and appeared looking half asleep. When she saw me and Adrian she perked up a bit.

"Adrian? Guardian Belikov?" she asked in a tired voice. "What are you doing here?"

"Princess," I said and gave a quick bow. No matter how focused I was on my mission to find Roza I always remembered to find the manners to bow to the Prince or Princess of the Royal family. "Forgive me for the later hour, but we need you to come with us. Rose is in trouble and needs us."

Panic set in on the Princesses face and behind her, I could hear someone else.

"Liss? Who is it? What do they want?"

Immediately I knew it was Christian and I heard Adrian breathe a sigh of relief.

"Christian! Get your ass here! We need to find Rose!" he yelled.

I turned to him angrily. Right in that second I wanted to punch him for yelling out to the whole school that I had failed Rose in letting her get taken.

Two seconds later Christian was standing there at the door with only a pair of boxers on. When he caught sight of me, he seemed embarrassed with his lack of clothing.

"Dimitri man, what happened with Rose?" Christian asked in concern.

I was glad that Christian was being serious about the matter and wasn't replying to it with his usual witty remarks. I knew that him and Rose fought a lot, but they also loved each other like brothers and sisters do.

"Rose was taken last night," I explained. "By a strigoi. He broke in our room and when I fought him, he threw me at a wall and I blacked out. When I woke up Rose and the strigoi were gone and the strigoi took her. We need Adrian to see if he can contact her in her dreams and we need you to keep in touch with you. We know that you can't go into Rose's head like she can do with you. But you can feel her and feel when she takes the darkness out of you, and we need you to tell us that she is doing these things because it confirms that she is alive, and that we can keep on trying." I clarified and Lissa nodded determinately.

"Of course lets go." She said and walked back to her bed to grab her jacket and shoes.

"I'm coming as well," Christian added.

I had been expecting this so I just nodded and moved aside so they could walk past us out of the door.

"Oh um, there is something you might want to know before we get back to the guardian's…" said Adrian and we all turned to look at him.

"Well…?" I pressed.

"Rose can't take the darkness from you Lissa. It's not healthy for her. It could kill her."

Lissa blinked. "Of course I know that the darkness is healthy and that it could cause her death."

"No, by her, I didn't mean Rose." Adrian hedged.

"What are you talking about Ivashkov?" I forced out between my gritted teeth.

Please don't be what I'm thinking. Please don't be what I'm thinking. Dimitri thought to herself.

"Rose is pregnant." Adrian explained.

My mouth dropped open. As did Christian's and Lissa's.

"How is it possible?" I breathed.

Rose wouldn't have cheated on me. Would she? It was genetically impossible to have children with other dhampirs. So how could Rose be pregnant? Unless she was sleeping with other moroi guys like Jesse Zeklos…

I immediately cast the thought aside. Rose would never cheat on me. She isn't that heartless, and besides. We love each other to much…

"What how? I thought she and Dimitri were…" Lissa broke off with a look to me and I returned her gaze steadily. She blushed and quickly looked away.

"They are, and yes Dimitri is the father," Adrian said and we all stared at him.

"How?" Christian asked after a few minutes.

"Well Rose being shadow-kissed had some effects on her as we all know. Being able to have kids with dhampirs and moroi just happen to be one of them."

"Wait," I cut in. "Did you say she?" I asked.

Adrian smiled. "Yeah. Congratulations Daddy. You're having a baby girl!" Adrian cried with sarcasm and sincerity mixed in together with the same tone.

I began to smile until something else dawned on me.

"Hold on, how do you know this?" I demanded.

Adrian now looked uncomfortable. "Well, last night I dream-walked Rose to apologise about our fight. But when I saw her I caught sight if the pink aura around her stomach and I just knew she was having a baby girl. But it was young. Only a day old. So it must have happened pretty recently…?" Adrian asked looking at me.

I blushed. "Um, yeah… tonight… or well, technically last night…" I muttered and the teenagers started oohing and ahhing and making jokes. Adrian was calling me a cradle robber.

"Look, are we quite done with making fun of the older guy? We need to get back to the guardian staff room and Alberta." I gushed trying to get them to shut up.

"Oh there is one more problem…" Adrian began and I looked at him with a what now expression.

"What?" I snapped.

"Rose doesn't know she's pregnant…"

Dun dun dunnnn! Congrats to those who guessed correctly. This is my longest chapter yet! I know I promised something unique and I know there are stories with this already, but please. Bear with me. I promise that the strigoi has something to do with the baby in the next chapter. If you can guess what, I'll make the reward as using your name as a new characters name in an upcoming chapter.

What did you think about the flipping out and out of control Dimitri? I thought it was pretty funny… and it was fun to write haha.

But PLEASE make my day and REVIEW for me and I will love you forever. The next chapter is in Rose's POV so you have that to look forward to.

So yeah…. REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW!
